US "intelligence" pushing propaganda just as much if not more than Russian "intelligence".
The 3 letter agencies have lost my trust and many (if not most) of my fellow Americans trust.
Like wise the AP has lost a lot of trust as well, they are not immune to posting fake stories and propaganda either.
Could zh have posted Russian propaganda maybe.. likely even. That will not stop me from reading the site
- tootie 4y agoI mean, they absolutely did post propaganda. The administration was 100% vindicated in this statement. They explicitly did not accuse ZH of knowingly or deliberately working for Russia, only that they ran a story without vetting that came from a source connected to Russian intel that contained disinformation related to Russia's intention to invade Ukraine. Really US Intel and the AP are very rarely wrong and I don't think they've ever posted propaganda. Us Intel usually comes with a confidence level and it's up to policy makers to react (or overreact or underreact).
- syshum 4y ago>>>Really US Intel and the AP are very rarely wrong This is sarcasm right. Tell me this is sarcasm
- tootie 4y agoIntel you read in the news is always filtered through the mouths of politicians laden with agenda. During the Iraq war, the Bush admin ran their own intel operations when the pros didn't tell them what they wanted to hear. That being said, the accusation against ZH is from politicians too so I guess it still applies. Still they were right and ZH ran propaganda. Whataboutism doesn't make them less guilty. Their unflinching denial makes them more guilty.
